Letter from the Publisher October 1993 | Premiere Issue

Dear Fellow East Cobber,

Welcome to the first edition of the EAST COBBER! We are excited to bring you this new publication and we hope you will share in this excitement too! After all, isn’t it about time there was a publication created especially for those 66,000 of us who have chosen to live in beautiful East Cobb County?

As fellow East Cobb County residents, we have found it difficult to get information on the issues we are asked to vote on, where to locate a quality restaurant in the area or just finding something to do that doesn’t include driving downtown. After conducting some qualitative research (otherwise known as “asking around”) we discovered fellow “Eastcobbers” were also encountering these very same dilemmas. That’s why we decided to develop the EAST COBBER. This FREE (thanks to advertisers)monthly publication provides a timely and easy-to-read source of information regarding the people, places and issues that make East Cobb County unique and such a great place to live.

The EAST COBBER includes stories that will improve your life, your livelihood, and your lifestyle.

By publishing the EAST COBBER, we hope to build a better sense of community in the East Cobb area. Your stories and ideas are vital to achieving this goal. The articles and stories in this newsletter will share information and ideas contributed from Eastcobbers just like you. Let’s learn from each other. Let’s find out how we can help each other.

Please write to the EAST COBBER and let us know what you think, let us know how we are doing, let us know how you are doing, and what you are doing.

Sincerely Cynthia Rozzo Founder | Publisher
